Three things to watch

Short passes

Boise State completed 17 of 17 passes thrown at or behind the line of scrimmage against Air Force, leading to long drives and frustration for the Falcons' defense. Air Force is making adjustments, but Wyoming will almost certainly try to exploit that area.

Air Force's receivers

The past two weeks have seen receivers drop passes that could have impacted the outcome or at least the momentum of the game. Has this become a mental problem that will continue to haunt the team, or might a few early catches put the issue in the past?

Second-half energy

Saturday will be a long day for players, as they must try to contain themselves until the ultra-late 8:15 p.m. kickoff. Adrenaline will undoubtedly mask any impact early, but the team that handles the extra downtime best will likely see an advantage late.
